Goldman CFO Compensation Boosted by Stock Grant

All of Goldman Sachs’ named executive officers, including CFO David Viniar, saw their reported 2011 compensation rise, despite a difficult year for the bank, thanks to stock awards linked to the company’s better results the prior year.

Viniar’s total compensation rose 13% from a year earlier to $15.8 million. The total includes a salary of about $1.9 million, more than triple the $600,000 salary he received for at least the prior three years, a cash bonus of $3 million and restricted stock awards valued at $10.7 million on the grant date. The restricted stock was granted early last year to reflect 2010 performance.
